Hi, I have a problem identifying some 3d rotation matrices. Actually I don't know if the result can be brought on the desired form, however it would make sense from a physics point of view. My two questions are given at the bottom.
\mathbf{s}=\left(<br /> \begin{array}{c}<br /> s_{x} \\ s_{y} \\ s_{z}<br /> \end{array} \right),\; \mathbf{S}=\left(<br /> \begin{array}{c}<br /> S_{x} \\ S_{y} \\ S_{z}<br /> \end{array} \right)
H=\left[\left(<br /> \begin{array}{ccc}<br /> 1-\left(1-C_{z}^{2}+C_{x}^{2}\right)\gamma^{2}& 0 & -2\gamma\left(1-C_{x}C_{z}\gamma\right) \\<br /> 0 & 1-\left(1+C_{z}^{2}+C_{x}^{2}\right)\gamma^{2} & 0 \\<br /> 2\gamma\left(1-C_{x}C_{z}\gamma\right)& 0 &<br /> 1-\left(1+C_{z}^{2}-C_{x}^{2}\right)\gamma^{2}<br /> \end{array} \right) \mathbf{s}\right]\cdot\mathbf{S}<br />
(this describes Kondo effect in a quantum dot with spin-orbit interaction)
The goal is to bring H on a the form H = \left(\mathbf{A}\mathbf{s}\right)\cdot\left(\mathbf{B}\mathbf{S}\right) where A and B are matrices describing rotations.
For Cx=Cz=0 :
H=\left[\left(1-\gamma^{2}\right)\underbrace{\left(<br /> \begin{array}{ccc}<br /> 1 & 0 & \theta \\<br /> 0 & 1 & 0 \\<br /> -\theta & 0 & 1<br /> \end{array} \right)}_{R_{y}(\theta)+O(\theta^{2})}<br /> \mathbf{s}\right]\cdot\mathbf{S} \;\; \approx \;\; \left(1-\gamma^{2}\right)\left(R_{y}(\theta) \mathbf{s}<br /> \right)\cdot \mathbf{S} \;, \qquad \theta=\frac{-2\gamma}{1-\gamma^{2}}<br />
That is, H is a vector product between spin S and a spin s that has been rotated around the y-axis with angle theta.
For Cx and Cz different from 0 :
In this case the matrix cannot be direct identified as a rotation around the x,y or z axis. The questions are now:
1) can it be a rotation around another axis?
2) Is it possible to write it as H = \left(\mathbf{A}\mathbf{s}\right)\cdot\left(\mathbf{B}\mathbf{S}\right) where A and B are matrices describing rotations?
I would be glad if anybody has an idea about how to deal with this.
